...when only your rear windows are down? This is the first car I have ever heard this in before. If you don't know what I'm talking about, start out with all 4 windows up and drive about 60+ mph. Then lower your rear windows only. You will hear a booming noise it kinds of hurts your ear.
It's called a vaccum.
Air can't come in and out at equilibrium so it come in, then goes out...like if you held a bottle of water upside down without the cap on.
8g's do the samthing if only the driver's rear window is down.
It's even worse if you have just the rear windows down and the front ones up. Pops your ears.
or when you open the sunroof
Yeah, I've hate thet sound. My 8G does it with both rear windows down and the front ones up. My Father's Outlander is probably the worst car I've ever been in with regards to that sounds. In his Outlander I feel like my head is going to explode. Even having just one front window down in his Outlander makes a small amount of that noise.
yea, mines does that also. it helps shut my backseat driving passengers though :twisted:
my windows don't work :evil:
just about every car Ive ever driven is capable of producing enough low pressure in the cabin during specific "window open" times that you can get that pulsating vacuum.
not much you can do but alter the laws of physics.
actually, thats not true.. usually just cracking a front window a little if the rears are open will alleviate that issue.

true.
who drives with just the rear windows open...... strange.
I used to without even realizing it. I rest my hand on the door and somehow I used to tap the left rear window switch without even realizing it. With the window controllers that causes the window to go all the way down.
